    I've lived here 60 years . Its so run down now , worse than ever. Hardly any shops open now not worth a trip into town. There's nothing to do in town either. With Asda closing soon we wont even have a supermarket. I would love to move out of the area.

    I used to go shopping here in the early 1960s. In those days, the shopping centre was very modern and convenient. There were plenty of places to park and a good variety of shops. It's a pity that it seems to have been in decline for the best part of sixty years!

    Basildon was the first town I lived in the UK when we arrived to the UK in 1991. I was 6 years old at the time. My mum and dad worked as doctors in the hospital and we lived close by. I remember shopping at Eastgate and loved going to the Toys R Us near by. Although we lived there for only a year before my parents got jobs elsewhere I will always have fond memories of the town and my primary school Lee Chapel.

    I remember the railway station being built in the 1970s, used to watch it take shape from day trips out to Southend as a kid..... In the early 2000s i drove evening bus services around town (when the red buses were used) and never felt threatened at all, in fact it was better than driving the 474s around Canning Town, Silvertown & North Woolwich!

      Yeah I've lived in Basildon since 1993 and it's fine and you're right everywhere of this size with the similar mix of social and private housing would be pretty much on par. There's plenty of positives and if you went out with your camera in the middle of summer and avoided shooting the odd pile of crap here and there - which is inevitable these days, you could easily paint a different picture.

    You missed the fact that English is only the 3rd most commonly spoken language in Basildon Town Centre on any given day. My brother was sitting on his motorbike waiting at the traffic lights and 3 foreigners tried to steal it from under him in broad daylight!!!! You needed to go mob handed to be safe on the Five Links Estate at one time, but the same was also true about the Mardyke Estate in Rainham (now demolished, rebuilt & renamed, but now English is rarely heard there now). Just saying as it really is.

    My parents and my siblings moved to Basildon from London in the '70s it was Lovely and Clean you could walk around Basildon and never worried about crime.
    I grew up in Basildon in the early '70s and then the '80s and went to school here my family lived in Basildon for 32 years and I loved living in Basildon.
    But now it is dirty empty shops everywhere and the crime is so high because Essex police can't be asked I remember going to Basildon town center on a Saturday packed with shoppers and I still have that image in my head the last time I went to Basildon its smelly dirty people begging for money kids screaming and shouting it's horrible Basildon has been ruined.
    But Pitsea is the same In the 70s and 80s Pitsea was a nice place on a Saturday you had the market on lots of kids like me used to go swimming now it is dirty and horrible and a no-go area you can not be in Basildon or Pitsea late now it's too dangerous.
    It is the government and councils' fault Basildon/Pitsea is a dump now.

    Compared to London it’s great. The parks are beautiful and plentiful. Basildon lacks decent jobs and pay which is why retail is suffering. Crime rears its ugly head when poverty is widespread. Solution is better paying jobs and more work availability. Needs a complete investment to rebuild many areas to be more beautiful looking especially east gate and west gate. Transport needs improving and better roads and pedestrian access on the duel carriage ways as the bridges aren’t convenient or adequate. I’ve lived here for 4 years and I’m always looking for solutions that would improve the area. Apart from the above I love living in Basildon.
